Digital BW, The Print

Neil,

In the 1160 UT ink system, the light blue toner should be in the yellow
position.  Print a purge pattern for MIS to see.  I'll send you some small
purge patterns off list -- a test file and what it should look like when
printed (NCA).  (The print was with VM ink, but it's close.)

Subject: [Digital BW] 1160, UT and PS 5.5 - Am I blue?

I recently revived my old 1160, which I had a CIS hooked up to with 
VM inks. Due to underuse over the last year, things had clogged up 
pretty thoroughly. I tossed the old carts and tubes, and after 
cleaning the nozzles (a big job!) and getting good clean nozzle 
checks with color ink carts, I installed new UT-filled carts with 
tubes from MIS, attached to new bottles of UT.

Didn't take long before I passed nozzle checks, at which point I 
printed some pics using Paul's latest UT curves for the 1160 from 
the MIS site (the UT11 curves, on EAM).

The results were very blue (I assume heavy on toner). Even using the 
UT11-W1 curve. In fact, I could tell no difference in tone between 
the 4 different curves. The light-to-midtones in all were tinted a 
strong blue.

The toner is printing in the Magenta position when I print a purge 
page. However, the toner in the bottle (obvious - it's blue) is 
labeled Yellow, and I connected it to the tube leading to the yellow 
chamber of the ink cart.

Can I conclude that MIS preloaded these carts incorrectly, putting 
toner in the Magenta chamber, and the lightest black ink in the 
Yellow chamber?

If someone could confirm the UT toner should be in the yellow 
position with 4-color printers, I'd appreciate it. MIS doesn't show 
swabs for 4-color UT systems on their swab page, so I couldn't 
confirm it there. Toner was in the yellow position with VM inks, as 
I recall.

Assuming this is the problem, I guess I'll have to wait another week 
to get my carts replaced before I can print :(.
